We are given with the formula
p = 200k - 500
a) The constraint for this formula is obtained from the idea that the profit must be positive
200k - 500 > 0 
k > 500/200
k > 2.5
b) To make 14000 profit
 14000 = 200k - 500
k = 72.5 or 73 knives must be sold

AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

For this case the population represent all the professional athletes in the researcher city and we can assume that the sample size for tis population is N =982 and represent all the individuals of interest for the study and the parameter of interest is the proportion of athletes who believe that the enforcement of safety measures needs to be completely overhauled .

In order to estimate te parameters of the population the researcher select a sample of 400 professional athletes and just 86 of them returns the questionnaire sent. So then the real sample is the n =86 people who return the info, because the other people are part of the non response rate, and from this sample she found that the proportion of athletes who believe that the enforcement of safety measures needs to be completely overhauled is .

You sell sporting goods. Your wages depend on the value of your sales. One week you sold $3,500 in sporting goods, earning $950.
Semmy [17]

Answer:

y = 0.2x + 250

Step-by-step explanation:

let the sales be x and y be earnings

thus,

given

x₁ = $3,500 ; y₁ = $950

and,

x₂ = $2,800 ; y₂ = $810

Now,

the standard line equation is given as:

y = mx + c

here,

m is the slope

c is the constant

also,

m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

or

m = \frac{810-950}{\textup{2,800-3,500}}

or

m = 0.2

substituting the value of 'm' in the equation, we get

y = 0.2x + c

now,

substituting the x₁ = $3,500 and y₁ = $950 in the above equation, we get

$950 = 0.2 × $3,500 + c

or

$950 = $700 + c

or

c = $250

hence,

The equation comes out as:

y = 0.2x + 250

Hiro has a stack of cards with one number from the set 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4 written on each card. What is the probability that
professor190 [17]

Answer:

Therefore, the probability is P=3/32.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that Hiro has a stack of cards with one number from the set 1, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 4 written on each card.  

We calculate the probability that he pulls out a 3 first and then pulls out a 2 without replacing them.

The probability that he pulls out a 3 first is 3/8.

The probability of a second card being 2 is 2/8.

We get:

P=\frac{3}{8}\cdot \frac{2}{8}\\\\P=\frac{6}{64}\\\\P=\frac{3}{32}

Therefore, the probability is P=3/32.

Len made 1 1/3 liters of punch. He added 2/5 liters of water to make the punch. How much water was used for each liter of punch?
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

  3/10 liter

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming your description means that 4/3 liters of punch includes 2/5 liters of water, then the fraction of punch that is water is ...

  (2/5)/(4/3) = (2/5)(3/4) = 3/10

3/10 of a liter of water is used in each liter of punch.
